This is nothing close to being elegant. But "elegant" was in my mind when I started to plan this card in my head.
Actually, I had this gorgeous shimmery card stock which I really wanted to use with silver, and I did too but the card did not come out as expected. People here are liking it though. Anyway, it is an incomplete card, I have to gift it to someone so I left the lower pat of the card empty for her to put any sentiment that she wants.

At first I didn't add the silver layer, and it looked quite empty without it. After adding the silver layer I was much more pleased. There is always this little thing that a card needs and when you add it, it looks complete. This was one of those things.

The flower as usual is hand drawn. I have added polka dots (vertically only) on the petals with my permanent silver FAT marker. LOLOutlined the polka dots with embossing paste and then showered it with silver glitter. I am short on blingatm so I added silver sequins in the middle.
The doodling has been embossed using silver embossing paste and then sprinkled with glitter.

Ouuuuuuuu Ahhhhhhh! I swear I let out a big sigh of joy every time I see one of your stunning works of art. I am breathless over this one. So shimmery and soft and lovely. Ahhhhhhhh. That swirl is perfection and should be a stamp. Sighhhhhhhhh!

This is a stunningly beautiful card ET. I love it! I don't quite believe that you hand drew the flower and the swirl and they look just like a Stampin' Up set that I have - Scribble This. You are so talented.
